Porn star claims director let her be choked and stomped on set

A female porn star has claimed she was left black and blue after being choked and stomped on when a director failed to call cut during an alleged violent film shoot.

Ukrainian Canadian actress Nikki Benz has taken to social media to vent her rage at allegations levelled at her male director that he turned a blind eye to her begging for filming to stop during a shoot for adult site Brazzers.

"This year has been full of ups and downs, and after the most horrific scene I filmed right before Bali… I deserve this! Trust… I'm not happy," Ms Benz said in her opening tweet about filming the scene with a director known as Tony T.

"As an ambassador, you should have never put me in that kind of situation. Good luck.

"I guess rape scenes are in now huh?"

In a string of tweets that followed, the actress's words became more pointed.

"I guess when I'm signing out and I tell you I'm not okay with the scene, you make me say I'm okay so I get paid," she wrote.

She then posted screenshots of text messages between friends which revealed more details about the alleged incident, including that the male director allegedly had a hand in choking her.

"It's not good… she's so upset. They really f---ed up this isn't over with her they're so f---ed," one of the text messages said.

"I've never seen her this upset and we have been friends for over 10 years. She can't eat, her hand is black and blue, she still has a headache from getting stopped on, and y'all director actually choking her himself???? If that happened to me I would have punched him in the face that is wrong on so many levels."

Brazzers issued a statement on Tuesday night showing support for the actress while distancing themselves from the director.

"We're behind you and will never tolerate negative behaviour towards stars by any third party producer," the company wrote in a statement on Twitter.

"As most of you already know, we do not produce content ourselves but commission producers to do so on our behalf. We understand that this particular scene was an unscripted scene with the artistic direction left open to the producer's discretion.

"Brazzers does not condone nor does it tolerate conduct by producers that would jeopardize a performer's security or well-being."
